Mon, 09 Oct 2017 21:09:14 +0000http://fandomwanderers.wordpress.com/?p=352#comment-2681while this is a good guide, I would suggest adding a couple more. OTP: one true pairing (absolute favorite ship), shipper: someone who ships a certain relationship, OC: original character, etc.

instead of “Not Safe For Work”, right?

Comment on The New Frontier: The Alternate Universes by luvtheheaven https://fandomwanderers.wordpress.com/2013/09/14/the-new-frontier-the-alternate-universes/comment-page-1/#comment-2377
Sun, 31 Aug 2014 08:51:44 +0000http://fandomwanderers.wordpress.com/?p=1799#comment-2377I started off in the fanvideo world. Over there, AU has a fairly simple definition, usually. So when I got into fanfiction, it was immediately confusing for me. Because I thought ALL fanfiction was, by definition, an ALTERNATE universe, even if it’s just a slight change. I’d been conditioned into that definition of AU by the fanvideo world. I came to realize that in fanfiction, AU meant something else. Mainly, AU fics generally start off with characters who are significantly changed in some way. AUs basically need you to FORGET a lot more of what you already know about the show/book/movie/(fandom) (or at least try to push it aside temporarily). In an AU, everyone will feel out of character, or at least one character will, except it’s not “OOC” because it’s on purpose and you’re not supposed to think it’s wrong, instead you’re supposed to think it’s an exciting change. If none of the characters feel OOC, then the world has to be SO radically different that it still feels like literally a different universe. But the line is never black and white, not even in the vidding world definition of AUs, and it is a confusing idea to navigate.

Comment on Fandom As an Alternative Timeline by luvtheheaven https://fandomwanderers.wordpress.com/2013/09/14/fandom-as-an-alternative-timeline/comment-page-1/#comment-2376
Sun, 31 Aug 2014 08:26:47 +0000http://fandomwanderers.wordpress.com/?p=1801#comment-2376As a fanvideo editor and to a somewhat lesser degree, a fanfiction writer, I certainly have linked specific works I’ve created to specific events in my life. I know this fanvideo is the one I was making when I should have been doing my Russian homework, or this is one I stayed up way too late my senior year in high school just to finish even though I should’ve been sleeping because of a contest deadline. I know this fanfiction was written a year before I discovered (at age 23) that my own sexual orientation was asexual, and now it kind of makes more sense that I’d be drawn to writing a fic about internalized homophobia, because the character wanted to feel attraction for the opposite sex but couldn’t, and here I was with my own internalized ace-phobia, wanting to explore those feelings of non-attraction in written form. I remember the vid I was editing when bad things happened in my life as well as good things. I remember “this is the vid I made that got mentioned & embedded on TVGuide’s website when I was in high school” and more recently “this is the one they actually showed at a Teen Wolf convention right before the actor went on stage, meaning he and so many people saw my vid, and I would’ve never even known this happened if not for one specific kind commenter who enlightened me to this fact”. I remember what videos I showed which relatives/friends of mine, including a relative who has since died, and these memories stick with me in a very tied-to-fandom kind of way.
